Good morning, welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of LCI Industries. I'm Jason Lippert, President and Chief Executive Officer of the company and a Director. I'll be presiding over this meeting. It is now 9:00 A.M. in the morning, and this meeting is officially called to order. Throughout the meeting, stockholders are invited to submit questions regarding LCI using the web portal. These questions will be addressed on our company website following the meeting. I would like to remind you that our conversations during this meeting may include statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update them. Next, I would like to acknowledge the members of our Board of Directors who are attending the meeting virtually.
Myself, Jason Lippert, Tracy Graham, our Chairman, Brendan Deely, Ginnie Henkels, Stephanie Mains, Linda Myers, Kieran O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sirpilla. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Shane Foley of KPMG, our independent auditor. Officers of the company who are present virtually include Lillian Etzkorn, Executive VP and CFO, who will act as Inspector of Election, Jamie Schnur, Group President of Aftermarket, and Kip Emenhiser, Controller and Treasurer. Hilary Johnson, Executive VP and Co-Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the company, is present and will act as Secretary of the meeting.
Thanks, Jason. The board of directors fixed March 20th, 2026 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting. LCI stockholders, as of this date, were sent a copy of the notice of the annual meeting on or about March 27th, 2026. I am pleased to announce that there are present by proxy a sufficient number of voting shares of the company to constitute a quorum. A copy of the notice, proxy statement, and affidavit of distribution of Broadridge Financial Solutions shall be made a part of the record of this meeting.
Thank you. The next order of business is to provide a description of the four matters to be voted on at today's meeting. No stockholder proposals were submitted in advance of this meeting. For stockholders voting today, please vote now as we will close the polls immediately after I review the four matters up for vote. If you have previously voted by proxy, you do not need to do anything at this time. The first proposal is to elect directors of the company to serve as directors until the next annual election.
The board of directors has nominated the following eight persons, each of whom currently serves on our board as directors to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until the successors are duly elected and qualified. Tracy D. Graham, Brendan J. Deely, Virginia L. Henkels, Jason D. Lippert, Stephanie K. Mains, Linda K. Myers, Kieran M. O'Sullivan, John A. Sirpilla.
In the proxy statement, we provided you with information regarding the business experience of each of these individuals. There were no other nominations from stockholders, and the company has an advance notice provision in its bylaws. Accordingly, all nominations are closed. Our board of directors recommends a vote in favor of the election of each of the director nominees. The second proposal on our agenda is the proposal that stockholders of the company approve in an advisory and non-binding vote the compensation of named executive officers as disclosed in the detail in the proxy statement. We provided you with this information regarding this matter in the proxy statement. Stockholders are asked to vote on the following resolution.
Resolved that the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation discussion and analysis, compensation tables, and related information and discussion, is hereby approved. Our board of directors recommends a vote in favor of this proposal. The third proposal on our agenda is a proposal that the stockholders of the company ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for the stockholders of the company for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. We provided you with information regarding this matter in the proxy statement. Our board of directors recommends a vote in favor of this proposal. The fourth proposal on our agenda is a proposal that stockholders of the company approve the LCI Industries amended 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan as disclosed in detail in the proxy statement.
We provided you with the information regarding this matter in the proxy statement. Our board of directors recommends a vote in favor of this proposal. Because no further business is on the agenda to come before the meeting and everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls now closed. Hilary, do we have preliminary voting results?
The preliminary vote report shows that, one, the eight persons named in the proxy statement and nominated at this meeting have been elected as directors of the company to hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their successors have been elected and duly qualified. Two, in the advisory and non-binding vote, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement, has been approved. Three, the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026, has been ratified. Fpur, the LCI Industries amended 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan has been approved. We will be reporting the final vote results in an SEC filing within the required time period.
Thank you, Hilary. Before I adjourn this meeting, I would like to take a moment to recognize James Gero for his invaluable service on the LCI Board of Directors for over 33 years. Mr. Gero, LCI Industries' longest-serving board member, played a pivotal role in guiding the company through some of the most significant periods of change in its history, including the acquisition of Lippert Components, Inc. in 1997 and its subsequent listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 2003. His advice, contributions, and experience will be dearly missed. As there is no other business to come before this meeting, this meeting is adjourned.
